Weather websites?

[pete6032]

What is your go-to weather website? I really like wunderground for their 10-day hourly forecast but I find their radar maps to be extremely cumbersome. I have the same problem with accuweather - cumbersome and slow-to-load radar maps. If there is a weather alert I will typically go to the NWS website directly. Any other desktop sites I should be using?

weather.gov. No hype, no ads, just a weather forecast.

I'll be interested to hear some replies. I was having a conversation not too long ago with a coworker. He was complaining all the sites suck.
I use weather.gov & the local TV news. They seem pretty accurate to me for the day...watch local news in the morning. I don't trust much beyond 3 days though.
I don't know how many times i'll see on the morning news that it will be cloudy with like a 20-30% chance of rain for the day, go to work & people complain that it's supposed to "rain all day".
I think what my coworker wanted was an accurate 7-10 day forecast & i told him that's probably not gunna happen any time soon.

Just curious....how is the weather in your neck of the woods?

I am currently in central California on the coast and it is raining, but colder than normal and very windy at times@!@!

NWS ONLY for most things. Their multiple divisions cover most everything anybody would need.

I used to use Intellicast before it got assimilated and destroyed.

For radar, I use a desktop program called GRLevel 3. It cost me $80 but it pulls radar straight from the NWS and is customizeable to your local view. http://grlevelx.com/

For a 2 week view and some sun and moon stuff I use https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/

Set you Zip or city for local information.

you can try ambient weather as well, kind of like weather underground but its all stations that they sold. our station is on both. top wind gust today is over 70 mph!
nice interface and you can get local current conditions from real measurements. I find the site both faster and easier to navigate than weather underground. on the right side there is a 7 day forecast.

Weather.gov. I paid for it, so I'm gonna use it.

Yep, I can get more weather information in thirty seconds on the NWS site than I can in hours on the weather channel.

There's also this charting site: https://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/meso_base_dyn.cgi?

Use the dropdown in the upper left corner to select your region. There are plenty of other options to choose from for configuration and display.

Nope, I did. You gotta wait until after I use it.

Great, getting weather a day late. That's as useful as a 1972 green stamp catalog...

I usually use theweathernetwork.com I just have a bookmark that goes straight to my city's forecast.

wunderground for me

kinda weird they named their site after a terrorist group

 

[deadlyapp]

We've got a nice local site called spacecityweather that cuts through a lot of the bullshit on forecasts.
